Fashion Bloggers & the 5 LA Fashion Blogs We Love

Fashion has always been associated with New York City, home of every shade of black there ever was and where the first US Fashion Week was held, in 1945. And yet, Los Angeles fashion has slowly and surely become a major contender with LA born-and-bred labels like Rick Owens, Trina Turk, and Monique Lhuiller becoming part of the international style dialog.

Proof that the Los Angeles fashion scene is on par with its East Coast cousin can be found in the vast blogosphere, where a seemingly endless supply of well-dressed California style darlings dot the landscape. Ranging from quirky to refined, extravagant to austere, edgy or beach-ready, we love them all, especially when they love travel as much as we do. If we must narrow it down, Travel Savvy's five favorite fashion-and-travel connoisseurs from the West Coast are below.

Julie Sarinana

While studying at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, Julie took up blogging as a vessel to release her creativity and share her wardrobe with the world. Since then, she has been a huge inspiration to fashionistas everywhere and has been featured in every major fashion magazine from Glamour, Elle, Vogue, Cosmopolitan and more. Expect to see a seamless combination of her high fashion pieces paired with rare vintage finds against beautiful backdrops as she travels around the world.

Rumi Neely

Rumi pioneered the California sense of style of dressing up easy-going basics with statement pieces. Her blog Fashion Toast is our pick and the antithesis to fussy, high-brow fashion blogs which seem to be omnipresent in every corner of the world (wide web.)

Aimee Song

Reaching an impressive 2.3 million followers around the world on Instagram, Aimee Song gives us a glimpse of her lavish lifestyle as she pairs together chic, on-trend outfits with a jaw-dropping collection of to-die-for shoes. With Aimee’s extensive polished wardrobe viewers are always surprised and left wanting more. We particularly love her recent post “Ruffled Marni in Florence," which you can read here.
